Mutations – Bam Pow III Release Party at PhilaMOCA Jan. 28

To celebrate the release of the 3rd issue of their zine Bam Pow (which also comes with a PhilaMYTHOS concert DVD that features performances by Da Comrade!, Norwegian Arms, Secret Mountains, and Lands & People), Chernobyl Collective Arts has put together a night of art & music at PhilaMOCA. The gallery reception will feature works from members of On The Water, Da Comrade!, Northern Liberties and more. Abandoned Building Brewery will be on hand to vend some of their craft brews, and Eye Gate II will be delivering a light show and video projections. With a new album mixed and ready for print, Rasputin’s Secret Police should have a lot of new material to showcase when they headline. It’s been a few months since ghost punkers Northern Liberties played their last show so you can expect them to come back with a supercharged dervish since it will be only their 2nd show since releasing the band’s latest album Glowing Brain Garden. Top it off with the symphonic space explosion of S.T.A.R.W.O.O.D. and Brooklyn’s No One and the Somebodies, and you have a tripped out diverse lineup to welcome the latest edition of Bam Pow. PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 5pm, $8, All Ages – Bill McThrill
